Once the family home of Captain Riddell, a friend and patron of Burns, this handsome country house is now a hotel. It is surrounded by beautiful woodland, and hidden away within is the little building known as Burns Hermitage. Here to what he referred to as the ivied cot the poet came to talk with his friends at Friars Carse, and to write poetry, for these years were some of the most fruitful of his short life.</p>
